Cropdeck blends farming and deckbuilders together to make a wonderful looking mix

Just when you think you've seen it all, along comes Cropdeck. Described by the developer as the "ultimate farming roguelite deckbuilder" and it really looks quite charming.

More about it: "Master farming in this roguelite deckbuilder! Clear obstacles, plant crops in optimal layouts and protect them from hazards. Use scarecrows with unique perks to supercharge your strategy, build a deck of unstoppable combos and thrive against all odds."

Going by the announcement trailer below, it looks like a nice chilled-out experience. This is why I love indie developers, they're always smashing ideas together in a blender and making something different. Check it out:
